Gin Rummy

Form melds and knock before your opponent does

About Gin Rummy

Gin Rummy is a two-player card game where players draw and discard to form melds (sets of 3+ same rank, or runs of 3+ same suit). Knock when your unmatched cards (deadwood) total 10 or fewer.

Objective

Be the first to reach the target score by forming melds and knocking — or going gin.

How Scorecard tracks Gin Rummy

The knocker scores the difference in deadwood. Going gin (no deadwood) earns a gin bonus. If the non-knocker has equal or less deadwood, they 'undercut' and earn a bonus instead.

Configurable rules

  • End game mode

    End after a point threshold or a fixed number of rounds.

  • Gin bonus

    Bonus points for going gin with no deadwood (default 25).

  • Big gin bonus

    Bonus for going gin with all 11 cards (default 31).

  • Undercut bonus

    Bonus when you have equal or less deadwood than the knocker (default 25).
